Amidst a burst of crackling firecrackers, the ‘Chenxing’ wedding photography store officially opened.
The name of the bridal shop is very simple. It still uses the name of the educational institution in the previous world. Because Zhou Chen really doesn't have much talent in naming, he just sticks to the same name.
There were many flower baskets placed in front of the store, which were sent by friends. Because the space in front of the store was relatively large, Zhou Chen even set up a stage on the opening day and invited people to perform and attract customers.
There were not many customers at the beginning, but in the afternoon, there were more and more customers. Some of them were attracted by shopping, some of them knew that this place was going to open a while ago and came here specifically today, and some of them came because they read in magazines.
I was attracted by the advertisement.
Hong Baida's friend Li Bing, who worked in a magazine, asked Zhou Chen for the right to use the photos. After Zhou Chen discussed it with Yang Tao, he felt that this was a very good opportunity, so Zhou Chen negotiated with Li Bing.
They agreed to the right to use the photos, but they had to advertise their bridal shop in the magazine. Li Bing finally agreed.
It is now 2013. Although the new media era has arrived, it has not yet reached its peak. Magazines are still selling, especially the magazine Li Bing works for in Yanjing. Many people who see the advertisements in the magazine,
Everyone came here to watch.
I was busy from morning to evening, and there were many customers. But at the end of the day, with various discounts, I only made six orders. One was to buy a wedding dress, another one wanted to customize a wedding dress, and the other four orders
It was because of the great discount that we decided to take wedding photos.
On the first day, six sales were completed, which seemed like a lot, but in fact, compared with their publicity and investment, the results were not very satisfactory.
However, Zhou Chen is not in a hurry, because this kind of retail business is different from the educational institution he ran in the previous world, and his background is also different. It is definitely impossible to make money right away, but it will take a certain amount of time to accumulate slowly.
After opening, Zhou Chen and Yang Tao went to the bridal shop on time every day to work. Now, apart from Zhou Chen and Yang Tao, the bridal shop only has one deputy store manager, and the other employees total nine people. The number is not large, but it is still quite a lot.
Already.
Now everyone knows the relationship between Yang Tao and Zhou Chen. Although Yang Tao herself doesn’t want to be the store manager yet and is just learning from the deputy store manager, the employees in Chenxing store are very discerning and have already regarded her as the store manager and Zhou Chen.
Boss lady.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Yang Tao was really busy, busy studying, but Zhou Chen felt much more relaxed. He was the boss, and he didn't need to do many things at all, as long as he paid for it.
After more than ten days, the business of the store can only be said to be average, and it is at the stage of making ends meet. As the boss, Zhou Chen is not anxious. In business, it is impossible to make money from the beginning. If you make big money from the beginning, then it is not possible.
It's called business, but it's called robbing money.
The loss was expected by Zhou Chen, and he was even prepared to suffer losses within a year. For him, the first task was to cultivate star fruit first.
After the bridal shop opened, Xue Sumei, the mother-in-law-to-be, has visited it several times. Once, she even brought her old sisters to visit, which made Zhou Chen and Yang Tao both laugh and cry.
On this day, Xue Sumei took the initiative to invite two old sisters, Liu Xiu and Lan Caiping, to get together.
"Su Mei, your prospective son-in-law's bridal shop is really good, and your prospective son-in-law is also a talented person. He is young and rich. Tao Zi is really lucky."
After the three of them sat down, Liu Xiu sincerely complimented Xue Sumei and kept praising Zhou Chen, which made Xue Sumei feel elated.
Xue Sumei had no reason to be unhappy. In fact, among the three old sisters they had become friends with, she was the worst offender over the years.
Although she used to play heroines in drama troupes, how much money could she earn at that time? Later, she raised the two older children by herself. Compared with Liu Xiu and Lan Caiping's happy family, she really suffered a lot.
.
Although the scenery in the first 20 to 30 years was not as good as that of Liu Xiu and Lan Caiping in the next ten or twenty years, Xue Sumei didn't say it on the surface, but she was actually quite aggrieved in her heart.
Recently, Zhou Chen, her prospective son-in-law, has been giving her constant compliments, making her life very comfortable, especially the compliments from her old sisters, which really make her extremely comfortable.
"It's not bad. Xiao Zhou is a pretty good kid. Tao Zi doesn't work in the hotel anymore and works in a bridal shop. After a while, he will be promoted to the store manager once he gets to know her better."
Liu Xiudao: "It seems that Xiao Zhou is really kind to Tao Zi. Sumei, it seems that it won't be long before you can drink Tao Zi's wedding wine. I will definitely give you a big red envelope by then."
"Hahaha, of course, the red envelope must be big enough."
Xue Sumei laughed loudly. As long as Taozi got married, her biggest wish would be fulfilled, not to mention that she was very satisfied with this son-in-law.
"Ping'er, why didn't you say a word today? Our family Taozi's happy event is coming soon, and your family's Weiwei is about to have a happy event too."
What he said out of joy, unexpectedly stirred up Lan Caiping's hornet's nest, and Lan Caiping immediately went into a rage.
"Xue Sumei, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't target me for a day?"
The plastic sisters really live up to their reputation, and they immediately start a fight if they don't agree with each other.
Xue Sumei was stunned when Lan Caiping shouted at her: "Ping'er, what did you say? Why did I target you? Xiu'er, you come to judge, how did I target her?"
Liu Xiu was also confused. She asked Lan Caiping: "Caiping, did Sumei say something wrong?"
Xue Sumei said quickly: "No, I didn't say anything. I only said one sentence to her, and you heard it. I didn't provoke her."
"Pretend, just pretend, Xue Sumei, Xue Sumei, I have known you for decades, and I still don't know you. You can't see our family well. Something happened to Weiwei. Now you are happy. If you are happy, just hide away."
If you are happy, come to me, isn't it too bullying?"
Lan Caiping pointed at Xue Sumei, with a stern tone. As he spoke, his eyes turned red with anger and tears flowed down his face.
"No, what happened to Weiwei? Caiping, I really don't know." Xue Sumei explained hurriedly.
But Lan Caiping didn't believe her at all, and said sternly: "You don't know, how could you not know, Taozi wouldn't tell you? Xue Sumei, I don't understand you yet, you just want to see me make a fool of myself, and you want to be angry
Me, laughed at me, now it's better, you got your wish, you succeeded, you are happy."
"Hey, Caiping, what are you talking about? What happened to Weiwei? Taozi didn't tell me. I really don't know anything."
Xue Sumei looked confused. She really didn't know what happened to Lan Weiwei. Tao Zi didn't go to her place recently. How could she know what happened to Lan Weiwei?
But Lan Caiping didn't believe her at all, and looked at her coldly, making her very uncomfortable. He had no choice but to ask Liu Xiu for help.
"Xiu'er, please help Caiping, what's going on?"
"Don't worry."
Liu Xiu comforted Xue Sumei, and then asked Lan Caiping. Facing Liu Xiu, Lan Caiping's attitude became much better. Under Liu Xiu's questioning, Lan Caiping slowly told the truth.
"What? How can there be such a scumbag?"
After listening to Lan Caiping's narration, Xue Sumei slammed the table and cursed angrily.
"Okay, Xue Sumei, stop pretending. I know you already knew it. If you want to laugh at me, just laugh."
Lan Caiping believed that Xue Sumei was acting, and her extreme reaction was not as good as hers.
Xue Sumei was anxious: "Ping'er, why would I laugh at you? I only found out about this after I really listened to what you said. We have a holiday and it's ours. No matter what, I can't use the child's matter against you."
You, Weiwei, have met such a scumbag, it’s too late for me to get angry, how can I have the heart to think about this.”
"Humph." Lan Caiping already snorted coldly.
Liu Xiu quickly advised: "Caiping, Sumei is not that kind of person, and don't think too much about it. You may have been wronged, but fortunately it's not too late. You can see the true face of that scumbag, and you won't be hurt."
Suffering more injuries is already a blessing among misfortunes."
Lan Caiping sighed sadly: "My poor daughter, how could she meet such a scumbag? I thought he was the boss of a listed company and would be a good person, but I didn't expect that his morals were so corrupt. It's really pitiful."
It’s my future.”
Liu Xiu and Xue Sumei quickly persuaded Lan Caiping not to be too sad.
